turns a quarter turn and is firmly fixed. Should the plug not fit in the
connection on your car check if:

• the notch in the plug matches the recess in the socket on the car
(see figure).

• the 3 slots in the plug are correctly positioned for the notch in the
socket (see figure).

• the pins are correctly positioned
for the notch (see figure).
